How to Mow
1. Start mowing the edge of the lawn nearest to the power point so the cable is laid out on the lawn you have already
cut. (S)
2. Mow twice a week during the growing season, your lawn will suffer if more than a third of its length is cut at one time
and this may also result in poor collection.
Do Not Overload Your Mower
Mowing long thick grass may cause the motor speed to drop, you will hear a change in the motor sound. If the motor
speed drops you may overload your lawnmower which may cause damage. When mowing in long thick grass a first
cut with the cutting height set higher will help reduce the load. See Cutting Height Adjustment.
Safety Cut-Out
Removing and Fitting the Blade
Switch off, wait until the blade has stopped rotating and
disconnect from the mains electricity supply BEFORE at-
tempting to remove or refit the blade.
Always handle the blade with care - sharp edges could
cause injury. USE GLOVES.
Removing the
Blade
1. To remove the blade bolt, hold the blade firmly with a
gloved hand and with a spanner, loosen the blade bolt
by turning it anti-clockwise (S).
2. Remove the blade bolt, washer and blade.(S)
3. Inspect for damage and clean as necessary.
4. In the event of a blade becoming difficult to remove, in-
sert a screwdriver (T1) into the hole (T2) to lock the
drive, then use a spanner (13mm A/F) to loosen the
blade bolt by turning the spanner anti-clockwise. En-
sure the screwdriver is removed before atempting to
turn on the machine.
Renew your metal blade after 50 hours mowing or 2 years
whichever is the sooner - regardless of condition. If the
blade is cracked or damaged replace it with a new one.
Fitting the Blade
1. Fit the blade to the shaft with the sharp edges of the
blade pointing away from the shaft and you are able to
read the text on the blade ‘This side to grass’
2. Re-assemble blade bolt through the washer and the
blade.
3. Hold the blade firmly with a gloved hand and tighten the
blade bolt firmly with a spanner . Do not over tighten.

The Motor is protected by a Safety Cut-Out which is activated when the blade becomes jammed or if the motor is overloaded. When
this occurs, stop and remove the plug from the power supply. The Safety Cut-Out will only reset when the start/stop lever is released.
Clear any obstruction and wait for a few minutes for the Safety Cut-Out to reset before continuing to use the mower.
